There is far too much deliberate mediocrity in the world. Too many sellouts are making conscious decisions to “settle” for that which is average, easy, comfortable and boring – both inside and outside of the real estate business.
Are you one of them?
Have you simply given up? Did you fail in your previous pursuits of excellence, surrendering yourself to a life of quiet resignation and despair? If so, then there’s probably nothing we can say to bring you back from your exile of self-imposed mediocrity. (But please let the rest of us know when you decide to grow up!)
Or, perhaps, have you continued to “fight the good fight”? Tenaciously striving for excellence each day, even though you are constantly relegated to mediocrity by a barrage of frustrating setbacks? If so, then take heart, you rarest of breeds! Help is on the way!
You May Be Overlooking One (or More) of Cory Boatright’s Keys to Success
If you are not feeling satisfied in your relentless pursuit of excellence, then you have likely overlooked one (or more) of the basic ingredients for success. In today’s lesson, Mogul faculty advisor Cory Boatright builds upon his previous lesson by explaining 5 more of the “10 success keys” he's discovered in his own entrepreneurial journey thus far.
These are the strategies Cory has learned through his own school of hard knocks, and from the patterns he has noticed in others who have achieved wild levels of business and personal success. These are also Cory's answer to the "victim mentality" that is so rampant in America today.

Cory Boatright
has started, run, or been directly involved with almost forty different companies since his early twenties. Many of them required good selling skills. That wasn’t a challenge for Cory. He has sold everything from Ginsu knives on eBay and Kirby vacuum cleaners door-to-door all the way to $50,000 high-end electronics online. Out of the forty-something companies, only two of them ever proved to be worthwhile endeavors. The other thirty-eight he decided to call “business therapy”. Interestingly enough, both of the successful companies harnessed the power of the Internet to make their profits. After bringing in almost 4 million dollars in sales from the first company, Cory sold it and directed his passion to the world of real estate investing. Now he runs Shortsaleology.com and has both successful students and certified Shortsaleology trainers that teach every type of real estate investing known to man-kind. Cory has an incredible team that helps people achieve all their dreams and his own. Cory considers the greatest lesson he's learned in life is "Remember... be a servant".
